Reccomendations!: Books, fanfics, and voice actors
Namine: So Zex, what have you been up to? Conning a family out of every penny they're worth?
Zexion: Hardy har har. I'll have you know that I helped put a dangerous criminal behind bars.
Namine: Well...umm...I made ESPN's highlight reel.
Zexion: Hmm, was that before or after you made the hurricane traumatized children cry?
Namine: *Looks down and walks away*
Zexion: Aww, come one! Don't be so quick with your comeback!.I'm reeling from your scathing retort!
-The Ansem Retorts, #317

1:04 am, and this time I thought it was a Sunday. I'm listening to Shakira's Hips Don't Lie right now. LOL, that song always makes me think of Axel. Gotta love YouTube, b***h. I went to sleep at 5 in the morning yesterday. I really am starting to think I'm becoming nocturnal. I didn't wake up till at least 2pm, and it wasn't on my own! My MOTHER had to wake me up!
I played Final Fantasy again and FINALLY got Rikku on my team! YES! HOORAH! I recently learned she was voiced by Tara Strong. In case you don't know who Tara Strong is ('Cause you're retarded), she's done many cartoon voiceovers. Examples below:
Timmy Turner- Fairly Odd Parents > a personal fave
Raven- Teen Titans
Dil- Rugrats All Grown Up
Terrance- Foster's Home
Bubbles- Power Puff Girls
Omi- Xiaolin Showdown
Ben Tennyson- Ben 10
Ember McLane- Danny Phantom > Another fave
Edd Ed and Eddy- Double Dee
Numbah Three- Kids Next Door
Melody- Little Mermaid 2 (<3)
And to be making the voices of Ariel's sisters in Little Mermaid 3!
Yeah, in case you couldn't tell, most of her voices are guys. Bet ya couldn't tell right? If you're more interested in what other voices she's done go to the link below.

WOW. Just...just wow. And then there's The Little Mermaid 3. Since I was a kid, I have ALWAYS loved the Little Mermaid movies, 1 and 2. And now there's a THIRD! It's supposed to be a prequel, including Ariel's mother! OMFG! It's said to be coming out February of next year though. -_-" See the link below if you're intersted.

Obviously, I like Wikipedia. I use it for all my voice actor needs. I watch anime on the anime network, so I start to recognize voices. And then I go to Wikipedia to check. OH! Speaking of anime, I JUST SAW THE LAST EPISODE OF DNANGEL! I cried. Really, I did. Mostly 'cause I was upset that Daisuke and Riku got together. Personally, I wanted Dai to end up with Satoshi! Since episode one, I was all "OMFG! SATO/DAI YAOI! FANFIC.NET! FANFIC.NET, AWAY!" Yeah, so I guess I was slightly disappointed, despite that I saw it coming. Ah well, watcha gonna do? And I have a question, did Risa make anyone wanna kill her? MY GOD, I had this terrible urge throughout the entire series TO SLAP HER. She was like "OMG DARK! I LOVE YOU!" and was dumb enough to not notice that Dai liked her. *SLAP* IDIOT! Well, whatever. Despite that I had found HARD EVIDENCE THAT DAI AND SATOSHI BELONG TOGETHER. Well, what are ya gonna do? Though I do wish we could have seen the Ice and Snow play twisted WHAT?! Is it SO WEIRD that I wanna see Daisuke in drag and Satoshi as his lover?! What? It is? Well...well ******** YOU!
I started reading this book today called Pepperland that my friend Danielle lent me. I only got up to chapter 3 though. And while I'm on the topic off books, I must recommend a book to my non-existant veiwers.
Blue Is For Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz is an AMAZING story I would recommend for teenagers and anyone interested in Witch/Wicca plots. It's about a girl named Stacey who had been taught witchcraft by her grandmother. She now practices Wicca as a daily part of her life. But she soon starts getting nightmares about her best friend Drea getting stalked by someone. When Drea starts getting phone calls and threatening notes and lilies, Stacey has to figure out who's harassing her best friend, and keep her urges for Drea's love interest to herself.
Sorry if my summary sucks, but the story is defiantly better than my summary makes it sound. If you read it and like it, then you should read the other three stories in the series, White Is For Magic, Silver Is For Secrets, and Red is for Remembrance.
Another book I'm planning on reading is How I Paid For College, A Novel Of Sex, Theft, Friendship, And Theater by Marc Acito. The summary I have for you is not one I have wrote myself(thank God for you lucky non-existent people!) but have copies from it's website, so here it is:

Embezzlement...Blackmail…Fraud…High School.
How I Paid for College is a comic novel about a talented, but irresponsible, teenager who schemes to steal his college tuition money when his wealthy father refuses to pay for acting school.
It’s 1983 in Wallingford, New Jersey, a sleepy bedroom community outside of Manhattan. Seventeen-year-old Edward Zanni, a feckless Ferris Bueller-type, is Peter Panning his way through a carefree summer of magic and mischief, sending underwear up flagpoles and re-arranging lawn animals in compromising positions. The fun comes to a screeching halt, however, when Edward’s father remarries and refuses to pay for Edward to study acting at Juilliard.
In a word, Edward’s screwed. He’s ineligible for scholarships because his father earns too much. He’s unable to contact his mother because she’s somewhere in Peru trying to commune with the Incan spirits. And, in a sure sign he’s destined for a life in the arts, Edward's incapable of holding down a job. ("One little flesh wound on a Pekingese is all it takes to get fired as a dog groomer, even if you artfully arrange its hair so the scar doesn't show." wink
So Edward turns to his loyal (but immoral) misfit theater pals to help him steal the tuition money from his father. Disguising themselves as nuns and priests (because who's going to question the motives of a bunch of nuns and priests), they merrily scheme their way through embezzlement, money laundering, identity theft, forgery, and blackmail.
But along the way Edward also learns the value of friendship, hard work and how you’re not really a man until you can beat up your father. (Metaphorically, that is.)
How I Paid for College is a farcical coming-of-age story, as if Catcher in the Rye were performed by the kids from Fame.
How I Paid for College is a book for anyone who’s ever had a dream…and a scheme.

Sounds interesting, yeah? It's a humor story. I'm also pretty sure it's a gay romance novel. I've read the reviews and one of them says "It's a coming of age, coming out tale." Also, it's written by a gay author. So, yeah. I wouldn't read it if you weren't interested in that. But me, I think I definitely will! I heard of this story through a yaoi Kingdom Hearts fanfiction I was reading, which has just been completed! If you're interested, here's another summary, of the fic this time!
